An important decision has been rendered in the New York court of appeals, covering the adulteration of articles of food. The case was under an indictment for selling watered milk, and the defense was that the seller, having bought the milk of whole saler, acted in good faith and did not know it was watered. The court holds that this is no defense, and that person who sells milk, butter. etc., must know what he is selling. If he takes their purity for grant ed he must do so at his own risk. The de- cision is of the greater imdortance because it removes from the purchaser the necessity of showing knowledge and intent of adul- iteration on the part of the seller, and strengthens the statue for the protection of consumers against fraudulent food.

Rev. Leonard W. Bacon, of the Inde- pendent Presbyterian church of Savannah, Ga. ,deliverered an extemporaneous Fourth of July sermon which has set the congre- gation by the ears and created sensation. After brief review of the Biblican history of the Hebrews, Dr. Bacon said that the Divinity always raised up men to meet na- tional emergencies, and eulogistically men, tioned Washington, Lincoln and Grant as the saviors of this country, taking occasion as he spoke to allude to the south as hay. ing been in the wrong in the struggle. He also read extracts from the speeches made at Gettysburg Saturday. Many in the congregation took ofenseat his remarks and speak of the clergyman's effort as his funeral sermon, and it will be surprising if the incident is not followed by vacant pulpit. Dr. Bacou recently went south, and is we'll known in New England

The highest court of Missouri has de- cided that Maxwell must be hanged on August 18th. This is the end of the pro- ceedings in court. The prisoners only re- course now is an appeal for executive elem ency.
 This Case is conspicuous illustration of the notorious delay in American crimi- nal procedure in murder trials. Maxwell murdered Preller in April. 1885. It was one of the most brutal and villianous crimes of recent years. The murderer escaped to Australia, but was brought back to St. Louis in August, 1885. He was not ar ranged for trial till the following May. His trial lasted nearly month. He was convicted and sentenced to death. Then, as usual, there was an appeal. It has talk en more than a year to decide that appeal. The interval between the murder and the day now fixed for execution is nearly two years and half. .s. ..- --.

For The Press1

MR. EDITOR: More than passing no- tice may be given in regard to the dedica- tion of the new academy building at Mon- son, 29th inst Not to enter into the par ticulars of the very interesting services of that day, but rather to give expression to a few thoughts born from the story of the old Monson academy. Two phrases of i'm pressions were prominent. One-the long list of good things said of the beloved alma mater, and the heightened line of Rradu- ates reaching from the beginning until now. The ethef-the almost entire ab- sence of any "reminiscences or even hint showing the student of the past to have been other than always studious and cir cumspect. Possibly this was a fitting it. lustration of the survival of the fittest. Among the pleasant scenes of that day we can imagine deep sorrow possible to one unfortunate enough not to be a graduate of Monson academy, saying nothing of a possible further misfortune of not having been born m Massachusetts. To The Press and it's readers need not say that this possibly extravagant language is but a figure, one used the more thoroughly to fix in mind the nobility and value of the old MO1aSOn academy just over the line.
 Who can measure the influence of that in- stitution reaching out through the lives of sucn men as DocCOrs WOOdWOfGn ana Hyde, and a host of others? It was in- deed day for rejoicing in an honorable
 record. But with the pleasant retrospect
 an inquiry arises in regard to the future
 Will the old academy born into the beauty
 of the new create history in that future
 that shall compare favorably with the old enter into no comparison between acad-
 emy or high school One thing seems | evident-that those parents ill MOnsOn, or
 in any of the surrounding towns, who wish
 their sons and daughters to receive the
 benefits of course in a christian acade-
 my, will do well to remember that the old institution in it's new house is better equip ped than ever before to do excellent work and bring about gratifying results.
